I don't know what to do now.

That vehicle that was starting to mess up has now decided to really do so. I barely made it home. This is going to ruin us. We do not have the finances to replace another transmission.

I did something I swore I would never do. I created a GoFundMe. I feel unclean and petty for doing it.

I do not know where to post such a thing so I can ask for some help. Is The Lounge the place to post something like this? Maybe General Discussion? I don't know how to ask for money. I don't usually do it. And certainly not in such an amount.

My husband is now severely upset and having to work and deal with this development. That makes me even more upset and anxious than I already was. I should not be surprised at this, though. I warned him that I was cursed when he proposed. He did not believe me.

I bet he does now.

I have had a few donations so far. Thanks to those who have done so. It means a lot to me because it will help him. (Hubby.)
